It was quite an insightful book into how Kamala Harris was shaped into the woman she is today and how she thinks. It's as though we actually know her from how her personality is on the pages. It is an alright book, an interesting memoir, that I can relax to and wind down with, but it doesn't stand out to me too much though (a personal thought mind you. This memoir might stand out more to you than it did for me). There some things I quite enjoyed reading of like her early days as a lawyer and some cases she worked on along with her role in the US' political world and her role as a Senator, and as a politician herself. Ending is especially powerful.

This was really good. To be honest I really didn’t know much about her except from what I found out during the election. She is an incredibly strong,smart and intelligent person. I really learned a lot like how Russia(which I knew but this had more info) interfered with the 2016 election. I thought her time as a lawyer was very interesting. This did make me cry and a lot of it made me mad because of this world.
